Where To Focus Your Attention

June 8, 2006|STAFF REPORT

Soccer, football, goalkeeper, forward, offsides ... whatever. Let's get down to why some of us will be watching the World Cup. The abs, the legs, the hair. Who knows if these guys are any good at soccer, we just know they look good when they hit the field. David Beckham is a given, but he's so last World Cup. Here are our 10 reasons to watch:

-- STAFF REPORT

Carlos Bocanegra

USA

Root, root, root for the home team, and those dreamy eyes. Hot, hot, hot.

Valon Behrami

SWITZERLAND

We see why he is called "the Swiss Beckham."

Stern John

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

The Postman has a Dwyane Wade aura that lets you forget he hits the post more than net.

Ahn Jung-hwan

SOUTH KOREA

This sweetie kisses his wedding ring every time he scores. Awwww.

Andriy Shevchenko

UKRAINE

Sheva has walked the catwalk for Giorgio Armani. Suit? Shorts? We'll take either.

Nuno Valente

PORTUGAL

If Abercrom-bie & Fitch needs a model, Valente and his abs would do nicely.
